A wire 16 cm long is cut into two pieces. The longer piece is 4 cm longer than the shorter piece
Find the length of the shorter piece of wire

One piece is 10 cm long, and the other is 6cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, identify what you know:

1) The wire is 16 cm long

2) The wire was cut into 2 pieces.

3) One side is 4 cm longer than the other.

So, we can create a formula:

16 cm = x + (x-4)

x equals the length of the longer side.

Just solve it it out, and x will equal 10! Which means the shorter side is 6 cm long.

Hope this helps! :)

we know that

applying the law of sines

°

so

∠j=18°

∠k=29°

∠l=180-(18+29)=133°

the answer part a) is

the measure of angle k is  ≈29°

part b)  the measure of angle k could also be

(180-29)=151°

so

∠j=18°

∠k=151°

∠l=180-(18+151)=11°

the answer part b) is

the measure of angle k could also be 151°
